[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If you have health insurance, I'm asking you to fight for those who don't.

If you're native-born, I'm asking you to fight for the undocumented.

If you can afford an education, I'm asking you to fight for those who can't.

The only way we defeat Trump is with human solidarity.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

This is about you hijacking our politics to send our taxpayer money to a foreign government to conduct genocide and apartheid while the children in our own country go without basic healthcare and good schools.

THAT’S what this is about.

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this

"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."

Courts won't save us. Legislation alone won't save us.

People-powered movements will.

That's what Resistance Lab is about. Join me July 19th and let's build this together.

BREAKING: DHS just gutted every relevant environmental law to build border barriers thru Big Bend National Park, where virtually nobody crosses the border.

This is a breathtaking attack on national park protections everywhere. If they do it here, they'll try to do it everywhere.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

Just left the DOJ where I was looking at unredacted Epstein Files. As always, it’s sickening to read testimony from women who detail years of abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and other billionaires who’ve yet to be prosecuted.

We must end this White House cover up.

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

2.5 years of Israeli soldiers filming themselves wearing the undergarments and lingerie of Palestinian women and I don’t think a single mainstream media article has been written about this.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Your reminder that Trump gutted the agencies and programs that would have prevented the screwworm outbreak.

[Darializa for Congress @DarializaforNY]

As Israel was bombarding Gaza, and family names were being wiped off the civil registry, Espaillat was unable to refer to Palestinians in any humanizing way.

Now he and his surrogates have the audacity to try to shame me for recognizing the direction things were heading.

[Acyn @Acyn]

El-Sayed: I think the bigger worry is not that I'll lose. It's that I'll win. I don't take corporate money. I never have, and I never will. And I'm going to be the biggest opponent of a system of politics that has sold off working people to the highest bidder.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

While the west refused to provide any assistance to the ANC in the fight against apartheid & instead called them terrorists, you know who did help? The Palestinians.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is South Lebanon today.

Israel has now bombed Lebanon more than 3,500 times during a so-called “ceasefire.”

Read that again.

3,500 Israeli bombs dropped during a “ceasefire”.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Lynching mobs.
Pogroms.
Genocidal acts.
Racism.
Suprematism.
Absolute impunity.

The failure of the post-WWII system in a nutshell.

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Trump stormed out of an interview with NBC's Kristin Welker this weekend when pressed for evidence of his repeated claims of fraudulent voting.

He has no proof because mass voter fraud doesn't exist. It's a pretext for him to try to rig the midterms.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Systematic violence and human rights violations are not exceptions to Israel's apartheid regime and occupation, they are integral to it. Israel is using unbridled violence in all the territories under its control, as well as in Lebanon and Iran.

Since October 2023, this policy has escalated:

In Gaza: tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, millions forcibly displaced, entire neighborhoods and infrastructure systematically destroyed

In the West Bank: about 1,082 Palestinians killed, including 239 children and teenagers; 61 communities with at least 4,161 members forcibly displaced and another 15 partially so, with at least 454 members displaced

In Israeli prisons: thousands of Palestinians subjected to systemic torture, violence and humiliation, in inhumane conditions

Under Israel's apartheid regime, Palestinian lives are treated as expendable and millions across the Middle East are at risk.

🔴 Another Israeli attack on medics:

Lebanese Ministry of Public Health:
Today’s Israeli attack in Tyre in front of the Red Cross center killed five people and wounded eight, including four medics in the Red Cross.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.

This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.

This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.

[Wesley @WesleyLowery]

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.

Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f

A Daily Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Elon Musk would've paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would be expanded by $2,400 and 91% of Americans would pay $0 more in taxes.

Scrap the damn cap.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
